1. Why a Radon Mitigation System?
Unbeknownst to many homeowners, radon gas can pose a serious health risk. This naturally occurring gas seeps into homes through cracks in the foundation, accumulating to dangerous levels over time. In Nancy's case, a routine test revealed her Mendon, Michigan home had radon levels exceeding the EPA's action limit. This prompted her to take action and install a radon mitigation system to safeguard her family's health.
2. Why Choose ALS Radon & Environmental?
Investing in a healthy home environment is an essential step for any family. Recognizing the importance of clean air, Nancy researched radon mitigation companies. She chose ALS Radon & Environmental due to our reputation for:
- Expertise: Our team has extensive experience in identifying and mitigating radon concerns.
- Clear Communication: We believe in keeping clients informed throughout the process.
- Transparent Pricing: Nancy received a clear and detailed quote with no hidden costs.
3. The Cause of the Problem:
Radon gas originates in the soil and can enter homes through any cracks or gaps in the foundation. These entry points allow radon to accumulate in the basement, potentially reaching harmful levels.
4. The Solution: Effective Radon Mitigation
Our certified specialists addressed Nancy's concerns during a thorough inspection of her basement. Following the inspection, we conducted a pre-installation test to confirm the elevated radon levels. With a clear understanding of the situation, we developed a customized mitigation plan specifically for Nancy's home. This plan typically involves installing a sub-slab depressurization system.
Here's how the system works:
- Sealing Cracks and Entry Points: All identified cracks and gaps in the foundation and around the sump pump pit (if present) were meticulously sealed with a special sealant to prevent future radon gas intrusion.
- Strategic Pipe Placement: The radon pipe network was meticulously installed throughout the basement, ensuring proper connection to the rest of the system and reaching the designated exit point outside the home.
- Powerful Radon Fan Installation: A powerful yet energy-efficient radon fan was strategically placed within the system. This fan continuously draws radon gas from beneath the foundation and vents it safely outside the home.
- Manometer Monitoring: A manometer was strategically placed within the system to provide a visual indication of the suction power created by the radon fan. This allows for ongoing monitoring and system optimization.
5. Unique Considerations:
Every situation is unique. While not applicable in Nancy's case, some basements may require additional measures to address moisture concerns alongside radon mitigation.
6. Client Satisfaction:
Following installation, a post-radon test confirmed the system's effectiveness, with levels dropping significantly below the EPA's action level. Nancy expressed immense satisfaction with the entire process, particularly impressed by ALS Radon & Environmental's expertise, clear communication, customer support, and commitment to her family's health. Now, Nancy and her family can breathe easy in their safe haven.
